INGREDIENTS

1/4 cup sugar

4 cups cubed cantaloupe

Zest and juice of 1 lime

1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, plus 4 sprigs for garnish

PREPARATION

In a small saucepan, bring sugar and 1/2 cup water to a simmer over medium heat, stirring, until sugar dissolves, 30 seconds. Set simple syrup aside; let cool to room temperature.
